Found!
I may be losing my mind a bit. I found my Pumpkin Headed Scarecrow quilt that was missing. Guess where it was? It was quietly hanging on a hanger with my other Quilts In Progress. And I had unpacked my zipper pouch that went with it because all I had left to stitch was the dern face. *sigh* I despair of myself. I'll post a pic here after I get the face stitched on.
At least I think this is the last of the MIA projects. I think. . .

Updated block pics
I haven't been keeping up with my block pictures. I posted February's block but here are the rest:
This is January.
This is March.
This last one is the May block. I cut it out Saturday and got up early this morning and stitched it together.
Why hexies?
I don't know why! But I saw this mini charm pack and went to town this past weekend. Have no idea what to do with them. I'm short two hexies so I need to look around and see if they are stuck in my bag. What to do what to do with them!

Feather and fan socks
Feather & Fan Socks by Judy Sumner from Socks, Socks, Socks
Needle US 1 - 2.25 mm
Originally cast on 4/9/2017
April 20, 2017
I’ve just started the heel on sock #1. I should have gone up
to a size 2 needle (which was my first impulse). The feather and fan pattern
seems to really draw the knit fabric in. Also this yarn seems really thin to me.
I wonder if it will bloom when I was it? It’s a little splitty but super soft.
If the socks feel too tight for me I will either give them to my sister or my
friend who gave me the yarn.

GRRRR. I was starting to reduce the gusset stitches when I
thought I should try this sock on. Far too tight! So I ripped it completely out
this morning on the way to work. I really enjoy this pattern so I should mind
the reknit too much. As long as it fits!
2025
These socks were added to my 2025 bingo chart so I alternated working on these with the Girly Girl socks. I'm not sure when I reknit the lace on the first sock. These were in serious timeout! Basically I knit the lace portions at home and did the heel and foot on the go. These were finished on April 18, 2025.

Girly Girl Socks
Girly Girl Socks by Robin Fouquette from Socks: A Spin-Off Special Publication for Knitters and Spinners
Needle: US 1 - 2.25 mm
Yarn Brown
Sheep Wildfoote Luxury Sock Colorway Kansas

CO with size 0 and 54 stitches. Knit about 10 rows and found it really didn’t fit over my heel-and broke a needle doing it! Started over with size 1 and 64 stitches. Knit 15 rows and began pattern.
Then they went to timeout.
April 1, 2019
Actually I have 63 stitches on my needles. I’m knitting the
heel 14 rows long (over 29 stitches/left 34 for instep). K16 then turn.
I made a bingo chart of projects for 2025 and put these socks, and others, on it. So after I finished my Anniversary socks for DH, I pulled these out and went to town. Washed, blocked and dried on April 8, 2025. I plan to give these to my sister immediately upon her arrival this summer and she better like them!

Snap tray
Woke up far too early this morning and made a snap tray for my niece. She's off to Japan on Saturday and these trays are so handy when traveling.

Missing? Lost??
I really hate it when I misplace a project. I'm currently missing two.
The first is the Texas Lightning Cowl. I'm knitting it with Independence Wool Texas Tweed that I bought from Hill Country Weavers. I started knitting it for my great-aunt but had to put it aside when I found out about her death. (edited to add: I found this knitting in my beach bag. I have no idea when I took this project to the beach!)
The second project is Sunflowers and Scarecrows by Jan Patek. The pattern appeared in Primitive Quilts and Projects but I think I bought a kit from Jan. I decided to embroider all over the quilt top and I put it aside when I was having trouble getting my angle right on a stem. I think I had it out last summer??? No idea where it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Turban for a friend
Hot Mess!
I started these on Christmas Day. I used Hot Mess yarn from Beach Bum Yarn on etsy. Knit on size 1 needles with my usual sock recipe.
